Soil Engineering

Soil Engineering edited by Athanasios P. Dedousis, Thomas Bartzanas.

The agricultural world has changed significantly during the last years. The excessive use of heavy machinery, waste disposal, the use of agrochemicals and new soil cultivation means led to severe problems, which agricultural engineers have to cope with in order to prevent soil from permanent irrever...
